Syntax



This is Syntax. He is not my cat.

He is an Internet cat. I just named him that way because I'd like to own him but I can't. I have learned that some people have a penchant for naming things they do not own, harboring the delusion of having a personal claim on that thing/person/feeling. Since I was so attracted to the complete idiocy of their sentiments, I decided to give it a shot.

It feels like I stole a neighbor's underpants.

I digress. Back to Syntax the cat. Syntax is a curious cat. Basks in the sun like a regular god. He does not like ice cream trucks.He also dislikes phrases like 'mad scientist" or "fat pig".

He celebrates his birthday by pretending that he is a kangaroo. But since Syntax feels that he is too much of a streetcat, he's sensible enough to be himself during normal days.

He likes catnip. He also has this strange habit of frowning while watching Filipino gameshows.

I'm convincing him to put up his own Friendster account but I'm getting the notion that he's too snooty for that.

The only word he knows to wheeze out is "Bollocks."
